Monday Night Combat

Nephaerius

Ok, I know it's not an MMORPG let's get that out of the way.  Anyway, I had been waiting for this game forever and I've gotta share that I have been nothing but pleased with the final product.  There are only 2 game modes at the moment, but I have already played for hours and am not even close to bored.  They also plan to add more modes and maps in the future they didn't want to split up the player base too much at the beginning though because they did not know how many people would be playing the game.  The development studio is small and has been very forthcoming and communicative with the player base.

This is a class based shooter (i.e. TF2) with the ability to level up skills while in the game.  The goal in the pvp mode plays very much like an TPS version of DOTA.  The goal is to defend your "base" while waves of bots move down both lanes to destroy it.  You can build turrets in the base, upgrade them, send more bots down your lanes, etc.  It's a blast.  I highly recommend checking this game out, especially since it's only $20.  There's also a "PvE" mode if you will that is very similar to GoW2's Horde mode.  In addition once you rack up enough cash you can create custom classes.  You choose one of the main classes and then have the ability to give them 3 different special bonuses that you can choose (clip size, speed, health, armor, etc. there's like 15-20 of them). 

I'm not saying it's the best game ever made, but I will not be putting it down any time soon.

So almost a month later and I've spent pretty much all my gaming time on this title. 

There are 3 DLC's planned for this game already the first of which will be free.  They've also announced an upcoming patch.  Details below if anyone is interested.

To the Monday Night Combat Community:

NEW ARENA:

Spunky Cola Arena is a Crossfire arena first shown at PAX Prime 2010. It is unique in that while there are 2 bots spawns for each team, the paths the bots follow merge into a single path near the center of the arena.

Nephaerius

So today's reveal is a lot jucier.  Two new arenas were actually revealed one for Crossfire (PvP) that I showed yesterday called Spunky Cola Arena and another for Blitz (PvE) called Survivatol Arena.  Spunky Cola is rather unique in that while there are 2 bot spawns on each side there is only a single lane to the enemy base.  As far as the new Survivatol arena it's Grandma Betty's Arena that was used for the tutorial prior to this DLC.  There's a new Blitz mode added as well - Super Sudden Death Blitz.  Also they revealed that private matches will now have a multitude of customizable features allowing you to tweak almost everything about a match.  I'm not sure what they could possibly reveal tomorrow if anything.  Without further ado here's the full info.
